The official said the United States believes all the media reports coming out of Syria, but for intelligence uses they want to gather even more information to understand precisely what is happening there.

The official would not address whether U.S. intelligence-gathering operations include eavesdropping on or jamming of Syrian government and military communications. Such actions were used in Libya. ( we should assume these actions are being undertaken in Syria)

Under fire from some quarters for not doing more immediately to help stop the bloodshed in Syria, the State Department on Friday said it will release publicly reconnaissance photos of Syrian cities showing broad images of what appeared to be smoke rising from areas where the fighting is most intense.( What cities? Will these be cities in Syria? Or will we get images from decimated Libya?)

The first image was posted on the Facebook page of the U.S. Embassy in Damascus. (not confidence inspiring) That embassy was closed last week when U.S. Ambassador Robert Ford and his remaining staff were called back to Washington.

The images shows "some declassified U.S. national imagery of destruction of Homs, very gruesome pictures showing lines of tanks, showing fire, showing the kind of things that you really only see when you have a major military attacking in a civilian area," explained State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland.

But the United States is continuing to look for non-violent solutions, Nuland said.

LIES, LIES, LIES ....we can't believe a word you say

Sometimes a timely song is in order. Back to the story

The official said the intended audience is "those who might doubt those who are doing the violence because, clearly, these are government weapons," alluding to Russia and China, which have echoed the Syrian regime's argument that much of the violence is being carried out by anti-regime rebels.

(There is no one who may "doubt there is violence". What with NATO nations running guns?)

Nuland said there photos will be released in coming days on the embassy's site and on a new site created by the State Department.

Pictures to be released on that site later Friday include ones showing the cities of Zabadani, Halboun and Rancous, she said."Our intent here is to, obviously, expose the ruthlessness and the brutality of this regime and its overwhelming predominance of military advantage and the horrible kinds of weaponry that it's deploying against its people," she said.

That's it. That's what our whole sick, deteriorating world is built upon. A seething sewer of layer upon layer upon layer of filthy lies. Historical lies, Religious lies, Generational lies, Centuries old lies, Education System lies from start to graduation, Televised Lies Live at 6, Hollywood movie lies, (need I mention Political lies?), etc.

But good luck trying to explain to John Q Public that just about everything he believes and bases his miserable life on, are lies.

One example - the election cycle. What a choice! Who will we vote to be betrayed by this time around? The wholly bought and paid for Traitors behind door A or the wholly bought and paid for Traitors behind door B? No matter which Western country is running their election farce, the scam is the same, and we suckers swallow it without a murmur...

The two-party/one-hidden-dictatorship political system. Nothing but pewk.

well said Nom, if I'm waking up to it then I know millions more are as I'm always the last to any party

I know Gadaffi was a bit of a "bad 'un" to his enemies [but not to his people surprisingly] & in his "little green book" he does nail it a far as our election are concerned showing them to be dictatorship in the guise of "false democracy"

Think about this?

War is .....

...THE CONTINUATION OF STATE POLICY, BY OTHER MEANS

.......A POLITICAL ACTIVITY IN WHICH VIOLENCE IS USED TO BEND THE WILL OF YOUR ENEMY TO THAT OF YOUR OWN

Stop being Manipulated by the Elites

For if you [the rulers] suffer your people to be ill-educated, and their manners to be corrupted from their infancy, and then punish them for those crimes to which their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded from this, but that you first make thieves [outlaws] and then punish them.´ - Sir Thomas More (1478-1535)

Edward Bernays: Perception Management it is a Reality

"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society,"

"Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. . . . In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons . . . who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind."
